[For a friend who never left my side, and didn't know he had someone who would never leave his.]
I swear to listen to your every word,
Promise to talk until my last breath,
Never to leave your heart broken,
And never to leave true words unspoken,
Find the answers to questions you ask,
Protect you from all the darkness and pain,
Free you from every prison of your mind,
Guide and show you when you’re blind,
I promise to keep no secrets from you,
To catch you every time you fall,
To pick you up and stitch your heart together again,
Even stand and dance with you in the rain,
I swear to never let you walk alone,
To always reach out and lend my hand,
Break down the walls that you come across,
And to give for each and every loss,
I’ll search for you when you’re lost,
Run with you when it’s too much,
Stand with you when it starts to rain and pour,
Love you with all my heart and more,
I promise to be there when you need me,
I promise to hug you tight when you’re lonely,
I promise to wipe your tears when they fall and
I promise to keep you, not for the rest of my life;
But for the rest of yours.
